Preheat the oven to 400C/gas mark 6. Line a small baking tray with baking parchment. Set aside.
Whisk the milk and yeast together in a bowl. Whisk in the egg, vegetable oil and maple syrup, mixing everything together very well.
Add the flour, mixed spice and salt. Mix together until you have a shaggy dough. Tip out onto a lightly floured surface.
Knead gently for about 5 minutes until you have a smooth ball. You may need to add a bit of additional flour if it is too sticky.
Roll out to a rectangle. Sprinkle the raisins all over the surface of the dough. (You can soak the raisins first in some warm water to plump them but do dry them off well before using.)
Roll up tightly and then shape into a ball again. Cut into six equal pieces, and shape each piece into a ball.
Place onto the baking paper, seam side down, leaving a bit of space between each. How much space you leave will determine whether you have soft sides or not.
Brush the tops with some of the egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. They should be golden brown on the top and bottom. Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely.
Make a thick pipeable glaze with the icing sugar and some milk. (you won't need much milk)
Pipe this over top of the buns in the iconic cross shape.
Serve and enjoy.
